Magma Rager stats is a 5/1. This is a 5/1 WITH RUSH for +1 mana and a mech tag.

Except Skaterbot can be a +1 mana for rush AND +1/1. We could've gone the powercreep ways and made it at least an Ice Rager with Rush and mech for +1 mana, but instead we got another poor Magma Rager copy. One day he'll make it to the meta.

Ah, but you don't see the usefulness of the card.

The Rager cards have always been looked at as steaming piles of shit throughout the history of Hearthstone, and pretty much die to just about everything. This card acknowledges it has a short shelf life and has Rush so it can take something with it. We have Mechwarpers in Wild, Galvanizers with this set, and I will be shocked if this doesn't worm it's way into some Mech Decks. This is going to be a high tier arena card because it basically acts as a 4 mana, 5 damage spell on a minion you want to make un-alive.

Probably not good enough for constructed, but surly the best rager so far... Maybe being a mech still it could make the cut. If you can magnetize it whit a divine shield whit some more healt on the same turn (I don't remember if that card exist tough), could be very viable...
